Clothing/Appearance:
A-T are ALWAYS on if it's Agito. Akito will wear them too, but he's more likely to seen wearing simple shoes. First off, they're both slightly limited in what is available in their size being... incredibly childlike in stature. Regardless, they manage to find clothes that are skull, crown, and wing designs fairly often. They're as likely to wear a school uniform as they are a Halloween costume or dress. They really don't have a lot of discretion as to clothing, but they do, absolutely, and without question, like change.
The more ornate, and the more showy it is without FUNCTION the better it is. They both tend towards layers and seem to like overcoats. Solid colors are fairly common, with the occasional stripes, but most of the time all of the decoration is in the accessories that Agito, in particular, can load up on.
Akito is more prone to cutesy or girlish selections, and Agito can run the range from extremely showy Hot Topic-esque selections to plain old jeans and t-shirts. When in a school uniform, Akito will wear it properly buttoned and cuffed, whereas Agito tends to leave the top unbuttoned or entirely open to the undershirt.
As for jewelry, they tend to wear mismatched earrings. Pins and chains at whim. Has a thin wedding band on the ring finger of his right hand. Akito has stopped wearing gloves because of it. Agito just continues on, as normal, ignoring it. Occasionally bracelets, they have a bit of a thing for dangly, flashy jewelry/decorations.
The eye patch is an almost absolute constant. They even sleep with it on. (As a note, taking it off, or blindfolding them does absolutely nothing. It's an agreement between them, not something they're dependent on. Very important difference.)
They both really like hats and hoodies.
As for general appearance. They're incredibly short, 4'6" on the ridiculously tiny scale and light too... to the point it's detrimental to Agito's fighting style. They have blue hair, and mismatched blue and golden eyes. Sort of an elfin build to his face.. Akito/Agito have lost a lot of the roundness to their face and now it's quite a bit sharper in expression and set than it used to be.
They tend to be neat and meticulous, even if the clothing and accessory choices are a bit of a peacock show. Nails are longish, but trimmed neatly, cuticles taken care of, rarely anything under them. Hands are uncalloused and possibly a bit unusually soft. STUPIDLY THIN. This is not easily noticeable given that they usually love layering clothes, but when shirtless or wearing a tight t-shirt it becomes really painfully evident. Their clothes are very RARELY soiled, no mud or blood, even after fighting. Hair remains basically in the same style it usually is, their hair's getting longer and Akito will put it up, especially if the weather's warm. Their bangs are usually swept over whatever eye is hidden by the eyepatch. Likely more out of idle habit than any deliberation.
Habits/Mannerisms/Body Language: Sob, this section is a huuuugeee part of them.
Akito
Walk: Akito's the most surefooted on a flat-footed walk. His strides tend to be light and quick, a habit of moving fast to keep up with generally taller company. When happy or cheerful, he tends to bound a bit more, a certain light spring to his steps that's somewhere between a walk and a skip, but neither. When frightened, agitated or disturbed he tends to still to an absolute stop, or a shuffle that he needs to be pulled into a quicker gait.
A-T: Nothing fancy here, he's competent, can keep his balance, make minor jumps and maintain a fair amount of speed. If he knows he's being scrutinized, he'll put on a show of being less competent than this, occasionally stumbling a bit.
Posture: It opens up the closer people are to him. He's more likely to gesture while he talks, reach out, lean on, climb on or drape. If left on his own, or at a distance, his posture closes gradually, hands slipping into his pockets, or arms wrapping around himself, head ducking down a bit. He sleeps tucked in on himself, usually on his side.
Verbal: Akito's voice is generally light, without being forced high or into a falsetto. His voice tends to lilt upwards at the end of statements, and this is especially more noticeable the more mischievous he's being. He can drift a bit in speaking, particularly at the beginning and in between sentences, usually when thinking of word choices. His speech is polite, a little on the side of formal and vaguely demur in most situations. Unless he's on attack, and then his voice takes on a more forced cheer, and what he says is utterly direct and usually horrific in implication or offense. Even in normal situation there can be a bit of a dissonance between the tone and expression Akito's using and what he's ACTUALLY SAYING. When it comes to HOW he says things, he varies between very direct when he's annoyed to vague answers or diversions into metaphors or proverbs in other languages to gently answer and steer the conversation away all at the same time.
Personal Space: Very little concept of it. He will get as close as he likes, or initiate contact whenever the whim takes him. He doesn't really go very often against his first reaction or 'instincts' and if he feels like hugging you, he will. You can invade his space fairly easily, and get, at worst, a highly curious look at you. He enjoys contact, and will naturally lean into it in 90% of all situations.
Expressions: Tend to be very animated and aside from it being jarred out to a rare, more serious expression, Akito can almost always be seen smiling. From a light, conversational smile, to a tight disapproving one, to a wide 'you are so stupid' smile, to a 'please go and die right now' fanged smile, to the rare flash of something earnest and reaching his eyes. Typically, if his eyes are open during a wider smile, it's honest. Solemner expressions can happen, but they're rare, and usually only come up in particularly grave or serious situations. Exposition and thoughtfulness can lean into a more neutral expression, but it tends to be very transient and fluidly into the next kind of smile.
Agito
Walk: Agito doesn't quite do so well on flat feet. It's a bit more of a shuffle or a swagger when in regular shoes. Not exactly CLUMSY, but not exactly like the floor is reacting to the bottom of his shoes the way he sort of expects that they should.
A-T: With perfect ease and grace. Agito's basics are incredibly economical, tight and smooth. On a walking pace or straight-away he just glides, and when it comes to jumps... frankly the higher up, the more impressive he gets. He can pick up phenomenal speed and force... basically has a heavily aerial style. Can stop and turn on a dime.
Posture: Agito's posture closes the closer people are to him. He will put his hands in his pockets and hunch his shoulders up a bit. When left on his own or at some distance from people, he tends to sprawl when at rest or sleeping. He tends to hold himself some distance back in social situations, and get a little farther, physically, the more someone is emotional about something, or being observant of him personally. Otherwise, when threatened, it takes more of an open, relaxed and predatory stance. He will get into people's personal space, stand immediately in front of them and glower up or drag them down to his level. On an everyday basis, he rarely reaches or gestures and sometimes will forget the basic things (such as simply biting off food offered rather than taking it himself) involving his hands. He doesn't THINK about using them in a lot of casual situations. The position of his feet/A-T is usually a better indication of his general mood and comfort level than his hand position will ever be.
Verbal: Agito's voice is firmly in the lower ranges. A little lighter when he's been blindsided or for any reason, being open to any degree, and falls into a growlish range when on the attack. His volume levels range up into HUGE FONT SIZE CAPS and is in no way afraid of voicing his opinion or being too blunt about something. Quite the opposite. Agito fails heavily at interpersonal communication, and can either go off into incredibly detailed explanation or regulate everything to curt, insulting one sentence replies. The more he's worked up, the less he says. His language is uniformly abrasive and vulgar, and the number of people he actually gives the respect of calling by name I can count on one hand. Ikki isn't one of them.
Personal Space: FIVE FUCKING FEET AND STAY THERE. He's got this prickly almost tangible personal barrier that just DARES YOU TO COME IN AND MOLEST HIM. He really doesn't know what to do when that happens. Physical affection of any kind causes blushing and flailing. HE DOES NOT WANT SQUISHY PARTS PRESSING ON HIM AT ALL. KEEP YOUR DAMN COOTIES OFF OF HIM. He will either recoil or freeze under a female drape. And he really only TOLERATES Kogarasumaru touching him with some blushing and bitching. Anyone else will get bit. Straight through.
Expressions: A lot of wide, fang-y grins, particularly when excited, annoyed or angry. Otherwise, Agito's expressions go from a bored neutral to outright aneurysm level of rage JUST LIKE THAT. His expressions tend to be sharper than Akito's as a general rule, and eyes held narrower. Except when blindsided or in those rare open moments, and then his entire set of features will slide into something that looks a bit more like Akito's softer range of expressions.
Current Residence(s):
Anywhere Ikki is. Cat's Eye Cafe or a tent at the tree house construction site/treehouse/Prussia/cave area.
Typical Daily Routine:
Akito: Akito tends to wake up when Ikki starts stirring, and is bright eyed and aware from there (9-10 AM). He will follow Kogarasumaru to morning practice and watch. (He'll relate anything interesting to Agito later. Yes. Agito can sleep while Akito's awake. It has to be interestingly surreal, but Akito's brain is flexable enough to handle it.) After that, he'll wander off to do his own thing. Sometimes the library, sometimes the clothing store, sometimes just exploring the area... mostly he'll drift around any major commotions going on around camp. A little nosiness, a little old habit. Tends to keep to the background in areas like the Mess Hall and the Center of Camp unless engaged specifically, or someone he's been looking for turns up.
Sometimes he'll sit out on a rooftop and chat with Delirium or stop by to talk with Lithuania and have some new flavor of tea. Most days he stops by the chocobo stables with Yayoi to feed and tend to Issei. Little chores go into the afternoon, like laundry, or picking up supplies. Early evening he'll start back to Prussia, as he's really not fond of being out past twilight, here, if he can help it.
Again, he'll stop and watch evening practice from somewhere with a good vantage points, occasionally making comments. Then probably goes back to the tent/treehouse or Cafe to either read or talk with Fay for a while/until Ikki wears himself out and comes back. If he doesn't, Akito just assumes he went to a different sleeping place that night. Akito does routine maintenance on the Regalia every night it's his turn out. And sometimes takes an hour even when it's not his day if there was a bad touch into swamp muck.
Agito: Rarely sees the crack of noon. And CANNOT be easily woken before that. Seriously, you can pick him up, toss him around, shove him off the bed, ice cubes, whatever. He'll mumble, maybe open his eyes, but he's still dead to the world until he damn well feels like waking up.
It's practice after that.. He tends to favor long distance runs now, trying to push his endurance farther, and keeps to the farther edges of camp. Most monsters he usually bypasses or ignores entirely unless they're within a certain radius of Prussia/within it's borders. Then, be it a weak little zombie, or an outright horror, it IS the practice for his Road that day.
Then a shower if they're not running blood instead of water. Like the smell or not, he'll put it off in favor of CLEAN. A lot of his day spent from there is done stalking certain threats or elements. Or at his favorite napping spots in camp. Takeuchis are fair, if dangerous, game, the Vongola, their mutual enemies, or just anything that seems interesting or relevant. Not quite a DAILY thing, but fights just HAPPEN kind of regularly with Agito's sparkling personality. Sometimes stops by the hospital (or is in it) for supplies... manages to see Yamamoto quite frequently there.
Early evening he's back for team training, which he will studiously nap through. Except for when he has to yell at the bastards for being noisy and stupid. He does join in when it's something interesting, or geared to something that requires full team participation or an area he knows he's weak in.
But normally, it's nap time again.
After dark, it's another sweeping patrol of the area, making Roadkill of the nastier critters out during the night. He's usually to bed around 11-12, unless it's going to be Akito's day, at which point, he'll make it a point to pull his schedule back a bit to accommodate.
If training, studying or otherwise engrossed in something/not specifically reminded, they WILL forget to eat. Both of them. They... kind of can do this for a while.
Favorite Haunts:
Both of them like the remote areas further out into the wilderness of camp. There's some truly bizarre things to see, as well as unusual creatures of all types and sizes. Akito's more likely to be found around the Cat's Eye Cafe than Agito for reasons INVOLVING A NOODLE. And Agito's more likely to do far out exploring. Agito also has at least four places in camp that are ridiculously inaccessible by foot, which are stickered with his personal emblem: favored napping spots. General camp locations are the mess hall to pick up coffee or ice cream, the library, the clothing store, or just at the treehouse area in general.
Does he make his own bed?:
They kind of think bed making is weird. Why do it when you're just going to mess it up again in a matter of hours... Whether they do or don't depend on where he and Ikki are living. At the treehouse? No. Probably never. At Fay's? Likely.
A-T are ALWAYS on if it's Agito. Akito will wear them too, but he's more likely to seen wearing simple shoes. First off, they're both slightly limited in what is available in their size being... incredibly childlike in stature.
